Geneva, Switzerland
I know what you are thinkng... oh my god, has the plan changed yet again. Rest assured that it has not. I did get this e-mail from Helga though:
Dear Kristin,dear Gawan,
hope this message reaches you in time. Spoke to You, Gawan yesterday, about your plans to travel to Geneva in December,to attend a Seminar at the United Nations Secretrary for Indigenous Affairs, organised
by Julian Burger. The theme of the seminary is on Indigenous Treaty Rights (and therfore a follow up on the Martinez Cobo Report).Could you please check the information on the www of the organization DOCIP and verify the dates, to see if timewise you could attend? If Gawan travels to Geneva, there might be a way that you can attend. There might ... please verify.My kindest regards,Helga
I get a budget for conferences and stuff so I should be able to go. Geneva would be really cool. Always excited to go to a new country. This could actually be a really interesting story for Anishinabek News. Yay for international journalism!I also got a scary sounding e-mail from Amy, an intern in Austria: "So--- Vienna. It is cold, but not as cold as home--- and not too much snow. Essentially bring warm stuff, and botts if you have them. But nothing too extreme. Plus, as it is very expensive to live here, try to bring as many every-day things as possible (ie: toiletries, etc...)" Two words I don't like: cold and expensive. But she did say not as cold as home, so this is a good thing. Anyways that's the latest, I have to figure out what this www thing Helga is talking about.
UPDATE: one hour later, found the website, the last time the damn thing was updated was in March/April, so I e-mailed them asking them to please tell the me dates. In the mean time I am searching the web, trying to find this out. Oh yeah Harry Potter three comes out on video/DVD today. YAY! kind of, would have been more exciting had Alfonso Cuaron not been the wicked that this way came, and wrecked Prisoner of Azkaban. I will still buy it eventually because you can't break up the set.Anyways stay tuned for the exciting conclusion of whether or not I get to go to Switzerland.
FURTHER UPDATE: 11:45
I don't know if I will be able to go to Switzerland:
Dear Kristin,
You certainly mean the 10th session of the Working Group on the Draft Declaration? It starts on November 29th and ends on December 3rd, 2004. Indeed there is no precision on that second half of the WG on the website (which is not managed by doCip). I transfer your message to our Coordination Secretary, Patricia Jimenez, who will provide you with the necessary information, although time is short. Hoping to have been of help,All the best,Françoise / doCip Secretary
The time frame could be kind of crazy, because I don't know what time I will be arriving in Austria, and then I would basically have to immeadiately jump on a train to Geneva and I don't know if it would be worth it to just go for the last day. I am going to talk to Wanda, and she what she says. Waiting for her to call back.
